Re: PRS-30

I'm thinking for this one:

Water resistant crown but not screw down (rated 100 metres)
Regular style screw back
24mm lugs on the 42mm with regular springbars and drilled lugs
20mm lugs on the 38mm with regular springbars and drilled lugs

If nobody has any objection to the Seagull "Unitas" (which is highly regarded), then these could both be relatively inexpensive watches.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

What if one person has a poor objection? :D

I would hate to see timefactors go down this road. What if timefactors slippery sloped it all the way to chinese cases and movements and assembled in China? Oh well, I'll shut up about this.

FWIW, I like the crown guards and the lugs - but I need a seconds hand.

Re: PRS-30

Am I allowed to say that I'm a little ambivalent to this design?! The case looks similar to my Millemetri, but for some reason this isn't 'doing it' for me. Is it too shiny? I do like the dial, I like the dial a lot, but definately sans 'Precista' logo as per the first mock-up. I reckon this style of watch needs some kind of modernist logo/typeface and that the Precista logo really doesn't work with it. Plus the watch doesn't feel Precista to me for some unbeknown reason...

Re: PRS-30

Not normally one for Roman numerals but that's very interesting - I particularly like the cut out dots for the hour markers.

If there's text on the dial , could we consider a Panerai-style yellow/cream to match the lume?

Cheers,

Guy :)

Hi everyone, let me introduce myself.

Iím Chris, a 28 year old designer from Yorkshire.

Later this year Iím getting married, honeymooning in Australia via Singapore where I intended to purchase a new watch to commemorate the occasion. Iíve spent months surfing net looking for that special watch, learning more and more daily.

After reading a review about the Dreadnought I got in touch with Eddie to see if he would be interested in making a watch of my own design. My first attempt was a update to Timefactorís PRS-20 which appears on this thread as the PRS-30. For me the 20 is too close to Paneraiís Radiomir so I set about first addressing the dial, then case, lugs, crown guards and strap creating a watch that has obvious influence of Panerai but is equally unique.

The comments so far have been fantastic and it looks like this watch or at least a tweaked version of could become a reality which would make a fantastic wedding watch for me, whilst saving me a few quid at Singapore airport too. Beauty!
